I think people's ability to smile is one of our best qualities. This is something animals cannot do. Not dogs, not even whales or dolphins, each highly intelligent and clearly close to humans, can smile like we do. I personally always feel curious if I smile at someone and the person remains serious and does not respond in any way. But when they answer me, my heart fills with joy. Even if a person with whom I have no connection smiles at me, I touch. why? The answer is clear: a sincere smile touches something essential in us - our natural desire for kindness.
